From Crisis to Stability: The Steps We Don't Always See

When we think about homelessness, we often think about its most visible moments—a person sleeping outside, carrying their belongings through downtown, or seeking warmth on the coldest nights of winter.

But what often goes unseen is everything that happens in between.

It's replacing an ID. Completing a housing application. Attending a medical appointment. Meeting with a case manager. Finding shelter on a freezing night. Taking one small step forward at a time.

Every day, people come to CCEH's Resource Center looking for more than basic necessities. They are looking for safety, support, guidance, and hope.

With your support during NH Gives, we can ensure that more people have access to the resources, services, and housing support they need to build a path home.

Please mark your calendar and give generously during NH Gives: starting at 5:00 PM on Tuesday, June 9 through 5:00 PM on Wednesday, June 10.

CCEH has TWO match opportunities during this year's NH Gives, meaning your gift could be DOUBLED! Follow us on social media to stay up to date on how your gift can go twice as far.

Pride Means Housing, Too

Every person deserves a safe place to call home and to be accepted for who they are. Yet LGBTQ+ youth experience homelessness at disproportionately high rates, often facing challenges such as family rejection, discrimination, and barriers to housing and supportive services.

This Pride Month, we're taking a closer look at the unique challenges LGBTQ+ young people face and the importance of creating communities where everyone can access safety, stability, and belonging.

Read our latest blog post to learn more about LGBTQ+ youth homelessness and the solutions that help young people thrive.

Thank You Lowe's!

A special thank you to the team at Lowe's on Fort Eddy Road for donating 10 venetian blinds to our Resource Center.

These window shades will help create a more comfortable, welcoming, and functional environment for the individuals who visit our Resource Center each day. Whether someone is stopping in for a shower, laundry, mail, case management, or simply a safe place to connect with support, maintaining a dignified and welcoming space is an important part of our mission.

We are grateful for community partners like Lowe's whose generosity helps us continue providing a safe and supportive environment for those experiencing homelessness in our community.
